Since youre putting a mc from a different car in it kinda complicates things. From what I've read the s2k mc needs the rod trimmed or a spacer used (someone w/ experience should chime in here)... I would do the necessary modification first, and then on the bench you can push the piston all the way in by hand and make a mark on it with a sharpie or paint or something. Then you can install the mc and set the linkage so that with the pedal down the piston is just shy of going all the way in. Conversely, make sure to leave a tiny bit of top play on the pedal so that its not trying to yank the piston out when you release it too.

an-plumbing.com has decent prices too, and if you're not buying a whole bunch of crap they don't charge you to ship a giant box full of stickers and catalogs like Summit does.

Oh, and DO NOT use teflon tape on AN fittings.

Anyone know of a place that sells gold colored bolts that fit the struts and upper control arm bolts on the strut towers? I have went everywhere locally only to be told they only have them in standard size and not metric

Wish they sold them specifically for what I am looking for. Anyone know the size bolts needed for the Upper Control Amr and Strut bolts on the strut tower inside the bay? If I had that I could find them online. Help is appriciated!!

Strut nuts are M10*1.25, uca nuts are M12*1.25 locking, I prefer Nylock but all metal is fine too.

I actually got the wrong one and am having to use a crush washer to make it seal. This is the one you want http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FRA-495110-BL/

Thanks! im just trying to find the best prices for my fuel set up.

Linh.

So for the fpr fittings with O rings are necessary?

BrandonRyan

thanks prjct92eh2

Any female AN threaded port that isn't 37 degree flared on the inside requires a straight cut and o-ringed fitting or a regular fitting and a crush washer. In my case the fuel rail and fpr
both need an o-ringed fitting.

Uca nuts are actually M12*1.5, sorry about that.

Haha the website was one of those stickers plastered on the windshield a couple of pages back

What.

if you buy hardware from a place that packages and markets to cars, youre f*cking high. always, always purchase hardware from people who dont give a damn about cars, i.e. they just sell hardware.

for christs sake that site has a picture from eibach... youre practically asking to be ripped off.

google "specialty fasteners", and just know what sizes you need rather than buying a 92-95 civic bolt dress up kit.

^ you can also get water from a drinking fountain, but people still pay $1.50 for a bottle of it

What.

im going to get titanium bolts for my RBC and TB and watch how cheaply i get them lolol

BrandonRyan

i wish i knew where to get them as cheap as you do.

-what.

^^?

**** is not that hard... if one were so inclined, they could even bypass companies like ARP and buy headstuds and rod bolts that are cheaper and stronger, yes stronger, and even choose how much stronger than them you want to be.

all im going to say is think 'aerospace'.



always buy as many parts as you can from non-automotive sources. its cheaper that way.

engine is in!! sorry i dont have a badass camera like some do...and the rusty bolts will be replace just waiting for my uca to come in...
